Trebuchet TBT-9R

The TBT-9R is a 50-ton missile boat, a 3131 rework of the 2780 TBT-3C original. In the left arm it carries a pair of LRM 15 racks where the TBT-3C mounted a single LRM 15, and a third LRM 15 remains in the right torso; in place of the base model's medium lasers the right arm now carries twin Medium X-Pulse Lasers. A 350 Inner Sphere XXL fusion engine replaces the 300 XL fusion powerplant, lifting cruising speed from 65 to 76 km/h and top speed from 97 to 119 km/h, and a supercharger in the center torso pushes sprint speed to 151 km/h when engaged. The Artemis IV fire-control gear is gone, and Inner Sphere light ferro-fibrous armor replaces the TBT-3C's standard plating, while CASE still lines the left torso. Tvastar Enterprises builds the type at Regulus.
